About Seth Goldstein (@sethgoldstein)

Thanks for clicking the URL in my Twitter profile. My name is Seth Goldstein, I’m a Web Designer/Developer based just outside of Philadelphia (aka. The City of Brotherly Love). I’m completely obsessed social media and technology. I’ve been blogging since 2004 an ran the now defunct, but at once popular, HermesNews.Net.But I’m still and avid blogger.

I have a B.A. from the University of Delaware in History and Journalism and have worked in the newspaper industry as a journalist for 4+ years before burning out and going into marketing.

In late 2007, I broke loose from the corporate bubble and started my own Web design firm Goldstein Media LLC. We specialize in clean, uncuttered code that is easily parsed by the search engines (layouts done in CSS and XHTML). We also specialize in search engine and social media marketing for the small to mid-sized company.

I’ve been on Twitter since September 2007 and at first I, like many others, didn’t understand the concept. But after ignoring it for a couple of months, I discovered the intrinsic and addicting. I’ve made many friends on the service as well as on Facebook. I look forward to learning more about the people and events around me and social media lets me do this.

I think I should let everyone know my Following Policy. It’s simple really, if I’m not following you and you’re a human being, tweeting in English about interesting stuff, let me know and I’ll happily follow. Often I will get so many people following me in one day that I can’t do a good job of following back and some fall through the cracks. I apologize if this has happened to you and please let me know. If you’re a robot, I very much doubt I’ll follow you back. Sorry. Also if you are one of those people who auto-direct message people back when they follow you and provide a link to a site of some sort, I will unfollow you and probably go on a tirade on Twitter. In my opinion that’s the most obnoxious thing a person (or close to it) can do. So please don’t do it.

Thank you for reading more about me. Please feel free to check out my blog. I also just launched a new site called AddictedToSocialMedia.com, so be sure to check that out! You can also find me on GTalk and AIM at GoldsteinMedia, on Skype at Goldstein.Media.LLC and by email at socialmedia[AT]goldsteinmedia[DOT]com.
